Mrrzy--

I know the song from a Mary O'Hara record I bought for cheap in College... And I'm stumped on the

She was like a lady, (something something something?)

line, too... (dancing for the king [????]) Maybe... Pattyclink, when you find the book, could you clarify this bit, please?

Anyway, makes perfect sense (to me, ymmv) as a dandling song "She (he) hasn't danced in days, so let's get some dancing going, here -- pronto!" :-)
